Ushiku Daibutsu

Pros: The terraces & courtyard are small, but lovely. They also have a wonderful refresh lounge where you can sit, listen to relaxing music, & read or meditate. The relaxation lounge has massage chairs, & they have self service laundry machines. The rooms are cleaned well & replenished daily. Cons: The rooms are rather small & basic. The restaurants are pricey for what they offer. It has a self-service feel, with the staff present, but not overly helpful. The gym only has 4 machines (2 treadmills, one exercise bike, & a row machine with a broken foot strap). There are no weights or other workout equipment.

Crazy good value. Place is brand new. Everything is incredibly clean. Shower is amazing. The room was massive. Great AC. All the appliances are new. Will absolutely stay here again. Not removing a star for this, but the keypad entry thing for the elevator is annoying - it's like the one thing they cheaped out on during the remodel and it makes no sense given the quality of everything else.
